Define what must be funded before the first order
Build a startup quotation schedule for Portable screen, Placement plan, Cleaning supplies; separate setup, operating inputs and working cash.
This is a planning reference for projection screen rental. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional rental: one portable freestanding projection screen for an indoor training room, nominal 100-inch diagonal subject to actual model dimensions. Includes competent setup/collection at ground level; no wall/ceiling installation or outdoor use.
A quotation checklist for this business
| Resource | Exact request to price | Check before accepting the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Portable screen | Exact model with viewable width/height and assembly manual | Check locks/supports and transport case. |
| Placement plan | Indoor level position with clear sightlines/routes | Venue approves; no fire-exit obstruction. |
| Cleaning supplies | Only manufacturer-approved surface method | Test/seek support rather than scrub coating. |
Keep the budget categories separate
- Portable screen: Exact model with viewable width/height and assembly manual. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check locks/supports and transport case.
- Placement plan: Indoor level position with clear sightlines/routes. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and venue approves; no fire-exit obstruction.
- Cleaning supplies: Only manufacturer-approved surface method. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and test/seek support rather than scrub coating.
- Record equipment acquisition OR an appropriate use allocation, plus the full stock/minimum-order cash requirement; do not count both as the same per-job expense.
- Obtain actual labour, premises, transport, energy/water, rework, payment and ongoing overhead amounts relevant to this activity. Identify deposits, receivables and payment dates separately.
- Resolve the guide-specific evidence gaps listed in section 10. Any activity-specific permission, testing or specialist costs require actual scope and quotations, not an invented allowance.

|---|---|---|---|
| Screen use allowance | 1 | KSh 700.00 | KSh 700.00 |

These selected lines total KSh 3,300.00. They are a fictional operating example, not the full cash needed to start projection screen rental. Illustrative total KSh 3,300; hire fee KSh 4,500 leaves KSh 1,200 before overhead/tax. Projector and rigging are excluded; use allowance is not an observed acquisition quote.
Close the budget before spending
For each actual quotation, record the delivered quantity, specification, cash due date, hire/purchase option and quote expiry. Keep an unknown cost blank. Reusable equipment purchase, an appropriate use allocation and refundable deposits are different records; do not count the same item twice.
- Obtain exact portable-model manual; cited Elite fixed-screen page is support context only, not assembly guidance for this unit.
